NAME

mdb-tables - Get listing of tables in an MDB database

mdb-tables [-S] [-1 | -d<delimiter>] <database>

mdb-tables is a utility program distributed with MDB Tools.

It produces a list of tables contained within an MDB database in a format suitable for use in shell scripts.

: -S Show system tables. System tables are generally those beginning with 'MSys'
: -1 specifies that the tables should be listed 1 per line.
: -d delimiter specifies an alternative delimiter. If no delimiter is specified, table names will be delimited by a tab character, or by newline if the -1 option was specified.

mdb-tables first appeared in MDB Tools 0.3

The mdb-tables utility was written by Brian Bruns

: Access allows for tables to have spaces embeded in the table name. You must specify a delimiter (-d) if you intend on piping the output of mdb-tables to a program such as awk or cut.
